According to a new study, eating slower may help slow down the aging process. The study showed that eating slower and consuming less calories gave ribosomes time to repair themselves. When the study was done on mice, those that had calorie restrictions were healthier overall and had a longer life expectancy. Human trials have to be done yet, but the results so far seem very promising.
Key Takeaways:
- Reducing one’s calorie intake impacts the aging that takes place within a cell.
- The experiment also showed that the control group was highly energetic and susceptible to lesser number of diseases, when compared to the other group.
- Since the calorie restriction experiment has not yet been performed on humans as “an anti-aging strategy,” it advisable that one does not cut calorie intake in their diet abruptly in an attempt to be ageless.
“The researchers found that when calorie consumption was reduced, it resulted in a “linear increase” in the lifecycle. Price shared that a balanced calorie intake may lead to some positive biochemical changes, which in turn reduced the pace of aging.”
